    Hi! Today I introduced my puppy to other dogs for the first time and I think my puppy pushed it too far with one dog because that dog barked at my puppy a little aggressively. He met another dog right after that on our walk but he was too scared to play with the dog. He sniffed the other dog's nose but actually hid in between the other dog's owner's legs. He then kind of ran away from the dog when the dog approached him. He loves people but I think I've traumatised him and I'm really worried. What should I do?

    Great news. I think you have ups and down with their new experiences. Just be consistent and he will be fine. Enjoy him.
